Cat damaged speaker, Help

I posted this on the Asylum, but wanted to get as many opinions as possible.

Our cat cut a slice that looks like a number "7" into the rubber surround of one of my speakers. The woofer is a 6.8" Scanspeak driver which I know is expensive to replace. The speaker seems to sound ok but the cut is bothering me. Is there any kind of glue I can use to repair it without doing more damage to the speaker, or should I just leave it alone? Any help would be appreciated.

Cute, but you aren't helping me.

You might be able to have the driver repaired by having the surround replaced.

I'd try a little piece of tire tube patch (or other thin rubber) and rubber cement to seal the area... preferably to the back of the surround. Just pull the driver out to apply. Can't hurt to try it!

Talk to your speaker manufacturer. I looked at your system.... you should not need that KAB rumble filter.
